Best Public Schools in Naples, ME

Summary:

The city of Naples, Maine is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Lake Region High School, Lake Region Middle School, and Songo Locks School. These schools, which are part of Regional School Unit 61/Maine School Admin District 61, face some notable challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, elevated free/reduced lunch rates, and below-average academic performance compared to other schools in the state.

Among the three schools, Songo Locks School stands out as having the least racial diversity, with 94.27% of its students identifying as white. In contrast, Lake Region High School and Lake Region Middle School have more diverse student populations, with 89.96% and 87.38% white students, respectively. Additionally, all three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.8% at Lake Region Middle School to 31.4% at Lake Region High School, which are significantly higher than the state average.

The economic challenges faced by the district are also evident, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 43.17% at Songo Locks School to 49.5% at Lake Region Middle School. These elevated rates suggest a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the district. The academic performance of the schools, as measured by the SchoolDigger ratings, is also a concern, with Lake Region High School and Lake Region Middle School both receiving 2 out of 5 stars, and Songo Locks School receiving 1 out of 5 stars, indicating they are performing below average compared to other schools in Maine.
